Barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Hassan) leaves were used to study the effects of developmental stage and photoperiod on the NAD(P)H-ferricyanide oxidoreductase (NAD(P)H-FeCNR) and on the photosystem (PS) 1 and 2 activities of isolated chloroplasts. From day 6 to day 12, both the PS 1 and NADH-FeCNR activities decreased while NADPH-FeCNR activity remained almost unchanged. Methyl jasmonate had no significant effect on the NAD(P)H-FeCNR activity changes. In 6- to 7- and 14- to 15-d-old plants, the NADH-FeCNR activity was higher during the photoperiod than during the dark period and, in the 14- to 15-d-old plants, the PS 1 activity increased during photoperiod in the same way, but to a lesser extent. The PS 1 activity of plants during a dark-accelerated senescence was low. The simultaneous changes in chloroplast PS 1 and NADH-FeCNR activities support the role proposed for the chloroplast NADH dehydrogenase complex in the cyclic electron transport.
